How do I create a line with certain configurations?

I'm really new with AXL so sorry if I'm being stupid.

I need to create a line and fill these values:

Directory Number information:

Directory Number, Route partition, Description, Alerting Name, ASCII Alerting Name, Active;

Directory Number Settins:

Calling Search Space;

Call Forward and Call Pickup Setting:

Forward All.

I tried to use SoapUI along with AXLAPI.wsdl file. When I click on addLine function there comes the XML code, but I don't get how I fill values like Directory Number, for example.

Well, that's no problem. There's a first time for everyone.
I think that's SOAPUI is a good choice to start with API request!

Here is an example of api call addLine:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns="http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/12.5">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns:addLine sequence="?">
<line>
<pattern>1000</pattern>
<description>created by axl</description>
<usage>Device</usage>
<routePartitionName uuid="?">glo_intern</routePartitionName>
<callForwardAll>
<callingSearchSpaceName uuid="?">CSS_National</callingSearchSpaceName>
<destination>1001</destination>
</callForwardAll>
<callPickupGroupName uuid="?">Pickup_Duesseldorf_00</callPickupGroupName>
<alertingName>Home Office</alertingName>
<asciiAlertingName>Home Office</asciiAlertingName>
</line>
</ns:addLine>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Please look at Cisco Devnet - Cisco Administrative XML (AXL) webpage.

TIPS:

In some cases (rare), things like uuid="?" and sequence="?" attributes among some others can cause errors.

(I'm talking about leaving them equal to "?" -- if you know the values that replace the ?, that's fine).

I usually delete those in my XML requests. It's just force of habit now.

Also, some requests that return multiple responses (eg. lists, like listUser) will have these optional XML elements:

         <!--Optional:-->
         <skip>?</skip>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <first>?</first>

There's nothing wrong with using them, but don't leave them in with ? as the value. This will cause an error.
